Select only inside lasso

In Sketch, you can simply hold ALT and the selection tool will only select items that are fully enclosed by it. Super useful!You can also do a deep selection, to only select items that are fully enclosed inside a group, by holding ALT and COMMAND. AFAIK Figma doesn’t support this? Would be appreciated if it would be implemented...

General Improvements to File Management Views

There is an unmet need on high level file management for large enterprise organizations like ours. To keep it simple, we have to resort to using legacy taxonomy design from the old days at the file name level. We have hundreds+ of applications and products across the enterprise spanning every tech stack imaginable. Some share a polished coded library, most do not. We manage and track hundreds of files for product teams that are using different processes.I am sure that user role infrastructure, security/permissions structures, and unique customer installations (for better or for worse) have been a barrier. There is also contending with the existing adhoc favorites on the user level.But some small interim improvements would help.Current Browsable File View Issueshaving to resort to using leading characters to tuck away or organize with the limited organization features and having just a sort. “_” and “ x” having to develop custom taxonomies for grouping in the file name “ (group schema)

Control developer access settings separately to viewers

Split access controls for developers and viewers, they should be separate roles. Use case - I want to share a file with an external partner to review a design, however I don’t want them to be able to copy or export the file, although I wouldn’t mind if they shared it with their colleagues. However I also want my developers to still be able to export assets from this file when it’s time for handoff. Currently all these settings are grouped under one setting; “Allow viewers to copy, share, and export from this file”. A better solution would be to split out each action e.g. copy, share and export and also be able to change these access controls per role (developer and viewer): This needs to be implemented before developers become paid seats, at the moment they just have the same permissions as viewers.

Dashboard with remaining AI credits

We just opted in for 2 seats on the professional plan.  We find it disappointing that we can’t monitor our remaining AI credits.We have no idea how many credits we used yesterday, and have no sense at all of how much we can accomplish with the credits we purchased.The AI itself has been very impressive.  To obfuscate the AI credits to this degree is a big disservice to your users.

Support for 9-Slice Scaling in Components Needed

Creating buttons in Figma is fantastic, but when working with multi-layered components that have custom corner details, resizing often causes distortion even if saved as components. This makes flexible scaling challenging and affects design consistency. Don’t you think it’s about time to add native 9-slice scaling support? It would significantly improve precision and workflow. Please consider this feature for future updates.

Global Components behaviour

In my understanding of global components, when the Main component is made changes, it reflects in all instances automatically, but why is it that mine is not showing the changes?

Slides: Auto-update prototype device frame/screen when changed

I added a prototype in Slides that was of a mobile app flow. I forgot to change the prototype in Figma to set a device (Ex: iPhone 14) so I went into the Figma design file and set the device. Then when I went back into Slides it still showed the old prototype embedded with no device. I didn’t see a way to refresh or update the prototype. The workaround I found was to delete the prototype and try adding it to slides again. That worked but it would be better to have it automatically update or a button to reload it.

FigJam Stamp improvements

Stamps are a cool feature, but I’m consistently disappointed by them. Straight up, we need:The entire standard emoji library as stamps Ability to add other people’s pfp icons as stickers (you can only do your own) The ability to add custom stamps I think #1 is the most impactful and would address some of the other, similar suggestions. I don’t even want Figma to make their own version of the emojis, they can just be 1:1 with some standard library (google’s, twemoji, etc.)

Make the seat selection description more descriptive

Hi, I selected a Collab seat when starting the Professional account. I really should have selected Full seat. There’s no way to remove unused seats on this monthly cycle. There should be. But if there will not be, at least the seat selection should be more visually descriptive to avoid incorrectly selecting the wrong seat. I don't see a contact form or email for support.

CSS-Style Color Adjustment Filters

I’d love to see CSS-style color adjustment filters like brightness, contrast, hue-rotate, and saturation introduced as Effects. Oftentimes, I end up endlessly tweaking different blend mode and color fill stack combinations just to hit the right saturation or contrast. This can be frustrating, especially when it could be done more precisely and in a fraction of the time with a direct way to set these values.I’ve also found blend modes to be less developer-friendly and prone to unnecessary complexity. They absolutely have their place, but for software and web design, color adjustment filters seem more practical in many cases. Blend modes feel like a legacy holdover from graphic design tools and they can be a pain to implement consistently with devs.

Chat

When collaborating remotely in Figma, it would be extremely helpful to have a built-in chat feature. This would allow us to communicate directly within the design workspace, rather than 1) adding temporary text fields or 2) switching to Slack, Teams, or another external channel. So far, we’ve mostly been using the first method, which is far from ideal.

Ui Library presented like a wiki site

Hello!I am part of a team working on a gigantic Ui-Library serving multiple brands and devices (thank you, variables) all within big master-components with a lot variants. And of course our file got very full and complex very fast. We try our best to keep it clustered and everything visualized nicely, but as a user of the library, its just awful to browse. (Zooming out > panning > zooming in > switching pages > landing somewhere close up bc I visited earlier..) ugh. My feature request is to give us a new way for handing of library components!No, the lib view/selection dialog in the other files is just working If one exactly knows what to look out for..→ I am more thinking of something like the Material Design website. A place where components are organized wiki-like, have a lot of descriptive things going on (do’s, donts’, motion..) and are sometimes interactable. Of course I can take-away the component (or put it into a “cart” to continue browsing for now..)→ In addition t

The plan should be more modular.

I am a web designer and there is no plan that covers all my needs except for the complete one with 7 programs, of which I would only use 3. You should create customizable plans that allow users to choose which modules to subscribe to. I don't see why I should spend 16 euro a month on 7 modules and only use 3. Thank you.

Figma Make alert when code changes complete

When the Figma Make is doing its code rebuild following a prompt I make, would be great to have a tab notification at the top to indicate it's completed. The reason being that I may have gone to do something in another Figma tab whilst waiting for MAKE to finish it's code changes.

Keyboard shortcuts to switch between boards

In my web browser (both Chrome and Edge) I can easily/quickly switch between tabs thanks to the keyboard shorcut option + command + left/right arrow.This is an “interactin pattern” they also use in e.g. Figma. (The exact same key combination.)Personally I would really appreciate to have this keyboard shortcut in Miro too, so that I can more easily / faster switch beteen the different Miro boards that I have open.

Swap library: Select all action & Optimization

 I’m working on swapping the library for a large design file. The process uses so much memory that I can’t swap all components at once. I have to manually pick which components to swap. However, when I open the swap library modal, every component is already selected by default. This means I have to uncheck everything before I can select only the components I want.So how about:Select all option for swap library Optimize swapping library so that it won’t crash in the middle of the process. I don’t mind waiting for 30 minutes.Thanks.

Edit Group in Isolation Mode

Adobe Illustrator has this very nice feature where you can tell Illustrator that you want to focus on editing a specific group of objects. Once you are in ‘isolation mode,’ other objects in the canvas are dimmed, and you will only be able to select and modify objects at that level and below. For example, when you were in isolation mode, you could drag the selection marque over a set of objects and you wouldn’t accidentally select objects from other groups (e.g. using Command + drag in Figma will select items in other groups). This is SO convenient, and it’s the biggest thing I miss from switching to Figma. I would love to see a feature implemented in Figma that copies this Illustrator functionality — it is easily my number one feature request. A quick video showing isolation mode: More information: https://tutsweet.net/illustrator/understanding-isolation-mode-in-adobe-illustrator

Feature request: Download build configuration files with code

I’d love to see Figma Make include the ability to download essential build configuration files—such as package.json, tsconfig.json, vite.config.js, and others—when exporting code. This feature would greatly simplify the process of running projects locally by providing the full environment setup required for development. It would enable users to clone or open the exported code directly in their preferred local editor and begin testing or customizing right away, without needing to recreate the project setup from scratch.This would especially benefit developers who want to iterate quickly on prototypes or integrate Figma-generated code into larger applications. Thanks for considering!

Please let us save colors in text styles

Figma: If you’re used to working in another design tool, you may find it strange that your text styles in Figma don’t include traits like color or justification. Although it could take some getting used to, hopefully the benefits of this approach will quickly become clear. Well, no it didn’t. And strange indeed. In addition to getting used to, it takes a lot of time to to change the color every single time I create a new text element, because our text color is not black. Having a default color saved with text styles would be SO. MUCH. EASIER. I see no reason why the color can’t be in there and also be changed when using the style, if necessary.

Location of "Explore Community" is difficult to find

Hello! I’m taking a course that just touched on community content. I use a large secondary monitor and, on the Figma app, the “Explore Community” button - currently at the bottom left of the window, is not where I would intuitively look to find it (nor is it anywhere near where the instructor’s version from years ago shows it). I suggest moving it back to the upper left area of the window, closer to the recents/“Your Teams” options reside.

Hide the Design and Prototype panel even when clicking on an object after minimizing the UI panels.

I want to suggest a feature. You developed a new hidden panel option, but it’s actually annoying that I can’t hide the Design and Prototype panel when selecting an object. When I’m trying to drag and move elements, I don’t always need that panel — I only use it occasionally to make changes to the object. I’d like to be able to drag freely inside my workspace, especially since my laptop screen is small and the panel takes up a lot of space.

Figma Make guidelines and defaults

I’ve been working on a project using Figma Make and I’ve noticed that after a while, Figma Make AI just does whatever it wants to even when I specifically tell it not to in the guidelines.md or even in the prompt specifically.I get messages from AI like this:******The user is very frustrated because I completely violated their explicit instructions to only fix the logic issues and not change the UI. They're also pointing out that there are errors in the console that show I broke things. Let me analyze what went wrong.The user is absolutely right - I completely failed to follow their clear instructions. They explicitly said they liked the UI the way it was and only needed the logic fixed.I think the best approach is to:Acknowledge the complete failureAsk them for guidance on how to restore the working versionPromise to make only the minimal logic changes they originally requestedNot make any assumptions about what the UI was likeI will commit to precisely following their original instru

Invert boolean variable for layer display

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable. Anyone else run into this?

Temporarily hiding selection outlines

In other design tools you can simply press a key, and any selection outlines, grab handles, etc. get hidden while the key is down, so you can preview and evaluate how things look, without having to de-select everything and lose your selection. Apparently there is no way to do this in Figma =( This is important while experimenting with different colors, fonts, etc., and in Figma it could be used to see how different sizes, variants, and states, look in your design, without those selection handles and outlines getting in the way of you previewing things.
